I've been a real food foodie for a very long time. I first began my healing journey in 1993 after a terrible car accident that left me with torn cartilage in both wrist, 8 surgeries on my arms/hands in 6 years, severe stomach pains from the NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) which ate holes in my gut, severe PTSD anxiety about getting in a car again, allergic reactions to all opioid Rx and a jury trial to sue State Farm.
I'm pretty sure after my last surgery, Good Friday, 1999 and a 2 day trial in Baltimore City with 12 of my peers (all black males) against MY insurance Co since the driver at fault was uninsured (which by the way I won!)....that's when EBV and Lyme & Co. came out of remission. Hey, why wouldn't they....they are both very opportunistic!
I remember starting out slowly with simple things like making our bread from fresh ground wheat, keeping sourdough starter, buying bulk beans, grains, rice. I worked my way up to juicing and cooking everything from scratch. I haven't started grinding wheat again...but I probably will since it's cost effective. But for now, buying bulk bags from Bread Topia works in Nowhere Texas!

In the late 90's I started taking cooking classes from a country "neighbor", Gloria McAdams who taught bead making and plant based cooking. She told me that juicing cabbage would heal my gut. When I saw incredible healing....that's when my interest was peaked to eat plants. She was/is a Seventh Day Adventist so is a plant based eater. It was my earliest exposure to eating just plants. I had a lot of opposition from my family, but here we are making a full circle with WFPB eating!
It's kinda funny, Gloria is now my country "neighbor" in Texas too!

Who knew...God was the creator of Tie-Dye!!! Juicing is so beautiful!
I use a clay oven to get a nice crusty bread.

I use the no knead recipe on Bread Topia. Einkorn Whole Wheat Flour is the only NON Hybridized wheat! It's thought to be an ancient original wheat!!! It is absolutely our favorite and makes a very light and almost white type of bread!
We love sweet potato flat bread called Roti! It's so simple to mix a cup of sweet potato and flour. Roll them out and then cook them until they puff!

You can start making simple changes in your diet to begin seeing big changes!
Blessings for Health!
